A still shot of a chess set that I built from the ground up in a program called 3D Studio Max. I later animated all the pieces in a complete game, from start to checkmate.

we found this chess game on the streets of Colonia. It's made of recycled plastic bottles.. what a fun idea!
I don't think this is Mahjong, it looked more like Xiangqi, the Chinese chess game.

Lost Unicorn, A Unicorn Forest Sanctuary is a delightful place to visit, a dreamy, magical fantasy experience where unicorns and other creatures reside in the thick forest. It's a lovely place filled with charming nooks and crannies to sit for a while, relax and enjoy the soothing musical stream or perhaps have a game of scrabble or even a chess game.

What is your next move? And, hey, wouldn't it be exciting if the online chess game viewers showed the pieces exploding when they were taken? I'm sure that wouldn't be a chess purist's choice, but....

An outdoor chess game with a giant board and pieces at Place d'Armes in Montreal in July 1978.
The background of the photograph shows the building of the Head office of the Bank of Montreal. The building, a Montreal landmark, was built in 1847. The building is on Saint Jacques Street.
In close proximity to the giant chess board is the base of the Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve Monument. The monument was designed by Louis-Philippe Hébert and unveiled in 1895.
The base of the monument shows the smaller statues of Jeanne Mance and Lambert Closse.
The use of a giant board for outdoor chess in Montreal has been reported in a variety of locations over the years, although not always with the same chess pieces. The locations include Berri Square and the Place Émilie-Gamelin, the starting point of the nightly student protests and marches, which began in April 2012.
For a Google Maps street view of the same location, please use the following URL:

Rick's shot. The interior of Henry II's Dover Castle was restored in 2007–2009. I expect everything here is a replica, as it was accessible to the public, but the elaborate ivory and ebony piece designs I'm sure are authentic. There were a few differences from the modern game in moves and board setup (in particular, note that the board could be in either orientation and the queen could be on either color).
